Devolver Digital have announced Ape Out, With A Playable Trailer For You To Try

Independent developer Gabe Cuzzillo and primal game label Devolver Digital have announced Ape Out, a game about an ape that will be coming to PC and consoles this summer. Fans of video games and apes and video game apes can actually play the Ape Out reveal trailer – a playable trailer, if you will – via Steam by visiting the Ape Out website starting today.

Ape Out is a wildly intense and colourfully stylised smash ‘em up about primal escape, rhythmic violence, and frenetic jazz. Build up nearly unstoppable momentum and use your captors as both weapons and shields to crush everyone on your procedurally generated path to freedom.

“Since I was a little boy one of my hobbies has been to secretly set zoo animals free and watch them run rampant, killing their captors in the most violent ways possible,” said Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker. “Ape Out captures that childlike sense of wonder in a very profound and meaningful way and also adds a drum beat.”

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
